College student whipped in court for two counts of rape

KUALA LUMPUR: A college student received his painful lesson in
court Friday for his two counts of raping a teenager last year.

Ainur Asyriq Aizamuddin, 19, took eight strokes of the rotan on
his buttocks in the Ampang Sessions Court following his admission
of guilt to the offence.

Under Section 293(1)(c) of the Criminal Procedure Code, the
Court has discretion to order a youthful male offender to be
whipped up to 10 times, instead of being sent to prison.

Judge Manira Mohd Nor also ordered that Ainur Asyriq serve
three months of community service, under Section 5(1) of the
Compulsory Attendance Act 1954, a provision which gives an
alternative to prison time.

Ainur Asyriq had originally claimed trial to two counts of
raping the teenage girl but on May 14, changed his plea and
admitted to the crime.

The offences occurred at an apartment in Estana Court, in Ukay
Bestari, Ampang Jaya on Nov 19 and Dec 7, 2013.

Ainur Asyriq served the whipping sentence in front of a
doctor, his parents and a group of observers.

As he was a youthful offender, a thin rotan (the type used for
punishing white collar criminals) was used.

Despite wearing jeans, Ainur Asyriq was seen flinching each time
the policeman readied to whip him.

He was heard groaning in pain and appeared to be holding back
tears after the fifth strike.

KUALA LUMPUR: A college student who pleaded guilty to raping
his 15-year-old girlfriend last year, yesterday underwent light
caning at the Ampang Sessions Court in open court and in the
presence of his parents.

Judge Manira Mohd Nor said she hoped Ainur Ashriq Aizamuddin,
18, would take the punishment as a lesson and to never commit the
offence again.

Ainur wailed in pain when he received eight strokes from a
Kajang Prison officer.

On Dec 13 last year, he was charged with two counts of raping
the girl in a house at Ukay Bestari, Ampang Jaya here, about 9am
on Nov 29, 2013, and at the same place about 4pm on Dec 7.

When Ainur pleaded guilty on May 14, he was sentenced to do
compulsory community service under Section 5 (1) of the Offenders
Compulsory Attendance Act 1954 for the first charge.

He was bound over in the sum of RM1,000 with one surety and
ordered to do community service four hours a day, everyday for
three months, beginning from the date of sentencing.

On the second charge, he was sentenced to eight strokes of
light caning in public under Section 293 (1)(c) of the Criminal
Procedure Code for youthful offenders.

Manira said parents should be more aware of their children's
social life and try to take control of it.

"This is only light caning. If it is normal caning it
will be 10 times more painful. I hope you will repent," she
said.

Deputy public prosecutor Goh Ai Rene prosecuted while the
accused was represented by counsel Farhan Reed and Dony Abdullah.

Crime

College student whipped in court

Kuala Lumpur: A college student was caned eight times at the
Ampang Sessions Court yesterday in the presence of both his
parents, after he pleaded guilty to raping his girlfriend last
year.

The punishment for Asyriq Aizamuddin Ainur, 19, was carried out
by officers from Kajang Prison in front of the Judge, Manira Mohd
Nor, and was witnessed by members of the public in the public
gallery, including journalists.

The light whipping under Section 293(1)(c) of the Code of
Criminal Procedure was for the second charge he faced.

Before the caning, the court asked the doctor in attendance to
check the health of the young offender and as the diagnosis was
healthy, the punishment began.

The slim accused, wearing a shirt and blue jeans, groaned in pain
under the light cane, which was about one metre long.
